Radar Online reports that Kim was dying to get an invite to this year's Vanity Fair Oscar party, and despite her doing everything she could, she never got invited.

"Kim had been hoping to get an invite to the Vanity Fair party," says a source. "Kim’s camp had made inquiries to the Vanity Fair party host Graydon Carter about whether she’d make the list. He never got back to her people! It wasn’t ever going to ever happen." Ouch.

"Everyone knows Vanity Fair is strictly A-list only, which means, no reality stars," adds the insider. "It would have been a circus if Kim, along with her mom and sisters, went to the party. Graydon would have gotten nothing but grief from actors that didn’t get an invite!"

Frankly, it's a little hard to believe that someone as famous as Kim doesn't get into every party she wants to go to. Isn't it a bit silly that anyone would still try to claim these days that reality stars aren't actual celebrities? At any rate, it sounds like Kim had a great time at the Elton John party, which still offered plenty of star power.
